Mark started walking my dogs in the summer of 2009. I would see him in the neighborhood walking other dogs; and at the time, I needed to hire someone to walk my two dogs because I was 8 months pregnant with twins. This was supposed to be temporary, just until I had my kids. 9 years later and Mark is still with us. He’s been with us through the loss of one of our dogs; and the addition of another.

He is reliable, compassionate, fun, friendly, and loved by everyone in our family, humans and dogs alike. All I have to do is say “Mookie, Mark is here” and with that, one of my dogs starts running in circles and waits by the door for him to come through.

My other dog is 14 now, deaf and blind, but she still gets excited for her walk with Mark every day. And on the days he knows she’s too tired or too cold, he brings her home early and then continues his walk with Mookie. I cannot say enough good things about him and would highly recommend him to anyone who loves their dogs as much as I do. OH, and he’ll dog sit at your home if you go away, which for me, someone who will not board my dogs, is a life saver come vacation time.
